My Everyday Life: Week 1

I am trying to get back into taking more pictures every day, especially with my DSLR, so I thought I would share some of them and maybe I will continue this tradition weekly. I took many of these with my iPhone too, as it's constantly with me.

I am copying shutterbean's idea and her blog post title. I look forward to seeing her everyday life posts each week, but she is a much better photographer than me. Hopefully I will get there with some practice!

I had to capture the mystery of the week. We had a perfectly healthy and beautiful angel trumpet plant. On Sunday, Craig discovered that something destroyed it overnight and then pooped nearby. The plant's leaves are poisonous, so I hope what ate it didn't die as a result.

Sunday is now mask day--for my hair and my face.

I've been reading Madeline Albright's Prague Winter this week. I've learned so much about Prague and the Czech Republic. I only wish I had read it before I visited the city.

I was in the mood for hard boiled eggs and have been taking them to work as a filling snack to have around 3 p.m. It does the trick!

Tanzi received a new toy from his "grandparents" and was staring it down.

﻿Coffee and snack break at work with the paper. I don't receive it anymore, but a co-worker is nice enough to bring it in for me on Wednesdays.

Makeup! I've been putting on while Tanzi is on my lap snuggling. I'm going to be sad when that Hot Mama! blush sample runs out. I may have to purchase it (I received it as a sample from Birchbox) or just try a new blush color all together for the fall/winter season.

Downtown Milwaukee, as seen on my walk to Subway for lunch.

﻿Shadows are so pretty.

Love these!

I took "candy from strangers" this week folks. I didn't even think twice about it when I am normally such a skeptic. Coffee and orange juice were being handed out at my park and ride. I chose coffee--must have been the sleepy state of mind I was in. A local church was handing the drinks out and attached their business cards.

Cat toys galore and a bored kitty. That's his scratching post knocked over. He's obsessed with it and sometimes gets a little too rough and it falls over.

Seen in my office this week. :)

My disabled parking permit arrived in the mail. In less than three weeks, I'll be having ankle surgery and then on crutches for two months.

Breakfast yesterday. I liked the Kind granola. It wasn't overly sweet. We love the TJ's Almond Milk. I decided I won't buy vanilla anymore since we both like plain unsweetened best.

﻿That was my week in a nutshell--Sunday to Sunday! Hope you're having a good weekend.
